Transport for children with additional support needs

Children may be entitled to free home to school transport because they have additional support needs. These needs may be short or long term, for example

• a pupil with a broken leg may require transport on a short-term basis,
• children with physical or learning disabilities may need home to school transport over the longer term.

The Transport Team manages home to school transport for children with additional support needs.

Contract hire vehicles including taxis provide most, but not all, transport for children with additional support needs. Only drivers who have been checked through Disclosure Scotland are used.

Escorts

Some children who receive transport because they have additional support needs require the services of an Escort. For more information, please refer to our Escorts web page.
